Chapter 705 "Waist" Must Be Hard

?Early the next morning, a Bell helicopter was transferred through the helicopter rental company, and it parked steadily in front of the garage. Yang Cheng quickly boarded the plane under the escort of bodyguards and flew towards Liverpool.

It takes more than two hours to travel by high-speed train, and it only takes more than an hour to arrive in Liverpool with the blessing of helicopters.

In order to avoid trouble, Yang Cheng directly contacted Anfield Stadium and let the helicopter land in the middle of the stadium. At this time, all the turf of the stadium has been moved outside the stadium to maintain the sun, leaving only a dark flat ground and losing the green field. Charm.

Ian Ayer greeted Yang Cheng from afar, "Boss, I didn't expect you to come so soon."

The pilot of the helicopter temporarily turned off the engine, and the propeller slowly stopped rotating. This plane was temporarily rented by Carson for Yang Cheng's use when he was in England.

"New York has been an eventful season recently, and it just so happens that there are not many things going on there, why don't you just come over and have a look, is everyone here?" Yang Cheng casually explained and asked.

He refers to the team management and the coaching team. Since he settled in Liverpool, he has implemented the spirit of unity and cooperation. No matter what, everyone must discuss it together before deciding to implement it. The big right to speak, what kind of dominance in the team.

Ian Ayer nodded with a smile, "Everyone has already arrived, waiting in the office."

"Then let's hurry up and don't keep everyone waiting."

As he spoke, Yang Cheng stepped up his steps, walked across the stadium and entered the interior, and took the elevator to the large conference room on the top floor of the stadium. The management team gathered together, but they still sat on opposite sides of the coaching staff.

After Yang Cheng entered the door, she stood up and said hello at the same time.

Yang Cheng pressed his hands, and sat down at the first place without hesitation, "I haven't seen you for a long time, how are you doing?"

His eyes just swept over Loew, and he answered, "Very good, Liverpool is the most united team I have ever been in, there is no intrigue here, everyone's heart is thinking about the team, and for the team to get better results. Put in the sweat and I would stay here until retirement if I could."

This can be regarded as a 'confession' in disguise, but everyone laughed and said nothing. This can't be taken carelessly. After all, the team's performance must be considered. After all, there is only one Ferguson, right?

On the contrary, Yang Cheng gave the promise very generously, "It also depends on Mr. Love's own wishes. I am very nostalgic, and I would also like to see Mr. Love become the greatest coach since the establishment of Liverpool."

Gentleman Loew saluted with a smile, "Thank you boss."

Yang Cheng smiled and clapped her hands, and brought back everyone's attention, presided over the meeting, "Let's talk about our goals for next season and our signing plan, do you need my financial support?"

Ian Ayer sat on Yang Cheng's left hand side, and immediately replied, "Boss, according to the results of our previous discussion with the coaching staff, we agreed that the focus of signings should be on the back line. Not only do they have considerable strength, but they are also in their prime. As long as there is no large-scale injury wave, we don't have to worry about it. On the contrary, the defense is a big problem.

You must know that we are preparing to hit the Champions League next season. Although the goal is conservatively set as the semi-finals, every team participating in the Champions League hopes to reach the top of Europe, so as long as there is a chance, we must fight for the final After all, Liverpool has not tasted the European championship for many years. "

Yang Cheng looked at Loew, wanting to hear his opinion.

Loew met Yang Cheng's gaze and said straight to the point, "Boss, whether the defense is solid determines whether we can go further in the Champions League. If the transfer funds are sufficient, we can sign another player who will play the role of a sweeper." lower back,

It couldn't be better, this position doesn't need to cost too much, of course, the back line is still the main one at present. "

Technical director Michael Edwards suggested, "I really have a good seed here. Our scouts noticed in Ligue 1 that the central midfielder Engelokante of the Caen team who just completed the relegation task this year is very suitable. Mr. Loew's request is just that I haven't investigated his contract situation. It would be great if he is a free agent. Even if he has a contract, I'm afraid his worth will not be too high, a few million pounds is enough."

Loew looked at the high-level executives he had the most contact with, "Can you tell me more about it? His technical characteristics."

Michael Edwards lowered his head and pulled out a piece of paper from a pile of documents. On it was the scout's summary of the player Kanter, "Our scouts commented like this: Kanter has a defensive sweeping area against the sky, and a stable player. He is known as the new Makelele by the local fans for his outstanding ability to play the ball. This French midfielder with a height of only 169 centimeters is not only flawless in defense, but also has a good offensive strength. What is commendable is that he has a big heart. , Repeatedly made meritorious deeds at critical moments.

Of course, there are many problems, such as his poor passing ability, and his shooting sight is not worth mentioning. However, as a sweeper, he should have a place in the fierce competition in the Premier League. It is recommended that the team introduce And to be cultivated, in time, he is also a top defensive midfield star. "

Except for Yang Cheng, everyone here is an expert in the field of football. Everyone knows who Makelele is, let alone the significance of a team having a Makelele. , As the saying goes, whether a team is strong or not depends on whether its "waist" is hard or not. This waist refers to the scavenger-style midfielder.

Loew is willing to listen to the opinions of others, but the right to decide is still in his hands. After all, a player must be used when he buys it, and he cannot put it on the bench as a display. If you put Messi and Ronaldo in a team, you may not be able to sweep the world.

"Well, please ask Michael to sort out a copy of Kanter's video material, and I will decide whether to introduce it after studying it."

Michael Edwards nodded immediately, "No problem, but let me add that our scouts found that Leicester City is also in contact with Kanter."

Yang Cheng made a decision, "Okay, this matter is left to Loew to decide. If it is suitable, just write a check to buy the player. I believe the player himself is not stupid. Our sign of Liverpool should be much bigger than Leicester City."

Everyone laughed, no one thought that what the boss said was wrong, this is the confidence of a traditional wealthy family.

After laughing, Ian Ayer continued the process, "What about the central defender position? Before we contacted Real Madrid and Ramos himself, he used it as a bargaining chip for him to negotiate a salary increase with Real Madrid. Now we have to continue Pursuing Ramos?"

Loew was the first to jump out to object, "No, we can't force a player to join a team he doesn't like. No matter how capable he is, it's useless. Why don't you consider German players? I'm not nepotism, German players Wumart It is globally recognized for its low price.”

The half-joking tone did not arouse everyone's disgust. In fact, regardless of the prejudice between the two countries, German players do have good cost performance, are tall and big, and can quickly adapt to the Premier League. There are very few black shops, unlike Porto, who can't wait to squeeze out the last point of value from the players.

Yang Cheng said at this time, "I remember that when we had a meeting last year, didn't we discuss a midfielder named Modric? He also belonged to Real Madrid. Why didn't we hear about it later?"

Ian Ayer shook his head in embarrassment, "Real Madrid set a price of 80 million pounds for Modric, which is almost the price of Ronaldo's transfer to Real Madrid, although we admire Modric, and he also walked out of Tottenham , don’t worry about being unfamiliar with the Premier League, but the price is indeed too high.”

Yang Cheng nodded suddenly, and Loew also helped to speak in a timely manner, "Our midfielders are not bad now. With the rise of Coutinho, the team's offense is more than enough. If Modric is at 50 million pounds It would definitely be the icing on the cake, but more than 50 million pounds is not worth it for us, after all, he is also old."

"OK, so do you have any options for central defenders?"

Loew nodded, "I'm more optimistic about Dortmund's new captain, Hummels. He has a strong ability to open air, and his turning speed is not slow. He also has a good header ability in offense. He is very suitable for the Premier League. , worth about 40-50 million pounds.

As for the full-back position, Leicester City's late bloomer Christian Fuchs is not bad. "

Ian Ayre answered, "We can start negotiations with these two people at the same time. We have sufficient funds. Even if we buy them all, there will be no problem. There will still be a lot left to go to other teams to dig some potential new stars to cultivate."

"Then why hesitate? Take action. In short, if you can successfully complete the goals you set, you will definitely be rewarded."

At the end, Yang Cheng threw out the temptation of a bonus, and immediately got a round of applause. In this world, there is nothing that can capture people's hearts more than money.

In the following meeting, Yang Cheng didn't speak again, mostly discussing the preparations for the season.

So, he quietly left the conference room and wandered the corridors until he was found by Ian Ayer, "Boss, I wonder if you have any arrangements for noon, remember the uncle I mentioned on the phone? He Knowing that you are coming to England, let me invite you to lunch."

Yang Cheng put his hands behind his back and smiled, "Isn't your uncle a member of parliament? Why are you looking for me in such a hurry? Do you want to do business with me?"

Ian Al smiled wryly, "If it's just that the business is okay, it's because of his sensitive identity that I'm in such a difficult position. I'm afraid he's planning a lot. Boss, you don't have to take care of my face. If you don't agree, just refuse." it is good."

Yang Cheng smiled and patted Ian Al on the back, "It's okay, I just happen to have lunch too, and it just saves money when someone treats me."
